The Discovery Bay CSD board has appointed new officers and district board positions for the coming year. Chris Steele is the new board president, Kevin Graves is vice president and Brian Dawson will serve as president pro-tem.

“I would just like to thank past president Graves for the efforts you have put in,” said Steele. “And also the directors and staff who have spent so much of their time and energy. We do have some major fiscal hurdles ahead with infrastructure repair and replacement and we’re going to have to really work together to prioritize those budgets. But I look forward to that and I ask for your support and I appreciate the opportunity.”

Directors Ray Tetreault and Mark Simon round out the five-member board. Terms for Graves, Steele and Dawson expire in 2014. Simon and Tetreault will be up for re-election in November.
